Hello.

Well, I guess it depends excatly what you want to do ...technology is a bit of a wide term. However, have you looked at the Open University?

You can get funding for the courses ...You apply through the OU, not through the students loan company as you would with a traditional brick university.

Also, you can study while you work.

Hello,

as long as the course is good, it really doesn't matter to me if it is a college or university.

Waltham forest college seems to be a good college.

Thanks!

I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
